Quick-hitting analysis of the most impactful player movement throughout the start of free agency.

Hooper can be viewed as a TE2. - Moody Ertz's three-year, $31.6 million contract makes him the highest-paid tight end in the league, and fantasy managers can consider him a TE1. - Moody New York has not been a hotbed for tight end fantasy football production in the past. My biggest concern with Engram in the Jaguars' offense in 2022 is that he will have plenty of competition for targets, even if a change of scenery is good for him. The veteran was headed for his fourth-consecutive top-15 fantasy campaign last season prior to tearing his ACL in November. Woods will be a reliable target for Ryan Tannehill, but he's entering his age-30 season and will be playing in an extremely run-heavy scheme. Kirk is coming off a career season in which he primarily played in the slot. He is still a WR1 in fantasy, but it is worth noting that Tua Tagovailoa averaged only 213.5 air yards per game over the last two seasons, while Patrick Mahomes averaged 283.6. New head coach Mike McDaniel likes to take advantage of his receivers' ability to get yards after the catch and no one is better in the league when it comes to doing that than Hill. - Moody Gallup is on the fringe of the top-30 WRs opposite a true fantasy WR1 in CeeDee Lamb. - Cockcroft Duke Johnson, Buffalo Bills: After failing to close a deal with J.D. McKissic, the Bills turned to Johnson as a passing-down complement to Devin Singletary. Johnson is entering his age-29 season, has never cleared 104 carries in a season and has one top-25 fantasy campaign in his career. Chase Edmonds, Miami Dolphins: The Dolphins signed Edmonds to resurrect a running game that averaged 3.5 yards per carry, the lowest in the NFL. It remains to be seen if Miami will deploy him on all three downs. Carson Wentz, Washington Commanders: Considering Washington's limited number of receiving playmakers, Wentz can be viewed as a high-end QB2. The Commanders should continue to rely heavily on play-action passes. Matt Ryan, Indianapolis Colts: Carson Wentz is out and Ryan is in as the Colts' quarterback after Indianapolis acquired the veteran for a third-round pick.

Fantasy Football Free Agency Tracker 2022: Leonard Fournette ... (CBSSports.com)

Keeping up with the all the signings that matter for Fantasy.

Edmonds was the first shoe to drop in the running back free agency market and it will have an immediate impact from a Fantasy Football standpoint. It would be surprising if the Dolphins were to give Edmonds 200-plus carries this season, but he should learn a majority of their targets out of the backfield. The veteran running back is returning to the Cardinals on a three-year deal. Chark joins Jared Goff in Detroit and he might actually have the best quarterback fit for his skill set since entering the NFL. Chark wins by creating separation at the intermediate and deep levels and that's exactly where Goff's ability to drive the football with velocity comes in handy. James Conner is returning to the Arizona Cardinals and could enter a better situation than he was involved with during the 2021 season. If the Cardinals don't add another back of significance in the next two months, Conner will project as a top-12 back with top-five upside. The hope in Pittsburgh is that Trubisky could have a Ryan Tannehill-like renaissance, and he has the weapons to do it. The problem is that 2018 is also the only year Trubisky has performed like a league-average quarterback. But the Rams give Robinson a chance to play in an explosive offense for the first time. He won't get the volume he used to at his peak, but it's not unreasonable to expect high-level efficiency from Robinson, especially in the end zone, given what we saw from Beckham. Like Beckham, Robinson comes to the Rams on the downswing of his career. The Rams are not a team that takes small swings, and they certainly aren't afraid to take on big risks when the opportunity to add high-level talent presents itself.
